Adam's Rib (1949 George Cukor)

Written by husband and wife team Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, featuring a happily married couple of solicitors (Tracy and Hepburn in their first* teaming) who take opposite sides in an attempted murder trial featuring jilted July Holliday (who's great) and shitty husband Tom Ewell.

Not hilarious but good, featuring a most annoying composer played by David Wayne.

Not much music by Rozsa, shot by George Folsey at MGM.

*Ed. No. Woman of the Year (1942). Get your facts right.
